Answer 1

Glucose.on.prolonged heating with HI give n-hexane

Answer 2

Answer : Glucose on prolonged heating with HI gives n-hexane.

Explanation :

We are given a compound glucose and we need to find the product after its prolonged heating with hydro-iodide acid. As we know that HI is a strong reducing agent. So, It reduces the both primary and secondary alcohol groups of glucose along with carbonyl group to from n-hexane as a product.

$\text{Glucose}\overset{HI/\Delta}\rightarrow n-Hexane$

Glucose on prolonged heating with HI gives n-hexane reaction are shown below.
